So, what’s left for CBS to resurrect from the mid-80s lineup? I wonder how long it’ll be before we see a reboot of a wacky group of irreverent doctors and nurses working to save lives in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Afghanistan? Bring back “Simon & Simon” with Gerald McRaney shepherding his two sons as the new team of private eyes who crack their cases in wildly disparate styles?
Too bad Bob Newhart and Carol O’Connor are no longer with us. Can you imagine an updated Archie Bunker, ranting and raving at immigrants and liberals while defending Donald Trump making America great again? ☺ Doug Fields Tampa, FL From: 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 3:07 PM To: TVorNotTV <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Magnum PI reboot Tom Wolper, to moi, 10/25/17: Kevin M, Friday (20): They decided Higgins needs to be female. So they can cast some good-lookin' guy as a Brit working for the Russians... they'll call him "Robin Masters," and he'll show up during February. I was trying to think of why this seemed a bad idea to me and I found this Guardian article to put it into words. Magnum is a pretty dumb show but Tom Selleck made it fun and watchable. There's no reason to think CBS will cast a lead that will bring what he brought so all that leaves is a pretty dumb show.
